Bumping this up....is everybody still doing this, im going on 2 weeks here and the icky oiliness is doing my head in cant wait for it to be over. Also have been using Henna to colour my hair looks amazing!
I am still going :) I washed maybe every 2 or 3 months last year but I ran out of shampoo sometime around Oct/Nov and haven't bothered to buy more. So fully No-poo for 7-8 months now. I did have a patch a month ago where it got greasy yet dry, but we moved and I suspect it was something to do with moving from a non-chlorinated water supply to a chlorinated one. The girls got frizzy hair for a while too when we moved but it seems back to normal now.
I do have a build up that I should do something about and I have been meaning to find this thread for ages to see what I should use. I didn't realise the thread was so old!!
i too was *literally* just thinking about this thread! Only because i went to the hairdresser after a millenia and she washed my hair and now i am paying for it :(
So I vaguely remembered someone in this thread using coconut oil for their hair and I got some for cooking and thought I would give it a whirl. I should have been tipped off by the solid state it was in to start with, but I figured the hot water would liquidise it. I didn't account for the stuff left in going hard again once I was out of the shower! Now I have solid hair lol.
Lol artechim!! If you're game enough to try it again, I use it after my shower and apply to dry hair. Just a little rubbed in my hands to melt it, then drag my hands through the ends. It's never solidified on me that way ;)
:ROFL: are you sure we are not related hahahahaha. that is so something that i would do :lol::
we have had a headlice breakout in our house so i have had to do the conditioner thing on all of us....arrghhhh! my scalp hates me right now! it was just coming good after the hairdresser and now it is back to limp and gross.
Cass, try a vinegar solution rinse to get the last of the excess conditioner out of your hair.
I am on day 27 of no poo, and so far I am loving it. Only thing I'm really not enjoying is the constant acv smell that surrounds me.
And Ginger I bet you don't look like a feral cranky pompous chef either :P
Lol no I don't. My goal is to get a selfie with him and send it to you
Hahahaha. That stank don't wash out :P don't get too close!
ACV?:
Apple cider vinegar?
Case, google lazydreads deep clean - that should get rid of any residue.
Ginger, I never smelt the acv in my hair, but you could always put a couple of drops of lavender oil or something in a spray bottle with water and spray your hair to make it smell pretty.
